For the first time, "Grappling - Effective Groundwork" offers a concise overview of the most important of the fall, lever and other techniques from the numerous methods of groundwork, such as those found in Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling and Luta-Livre amongst others.

Proper training in groundwork is not only interesting for those athletes practicing various styles. It is an essential element for all Martial Arts follow-ers who want to be successful in Mixed Martial Arts competitions.

Besides the detailed descriptions of the respective fall and lever techniques, the subject of approp-riate training and practical gymnastics exercises are also covered. Tips for training round off the book in a conclusion.

There are well over 1000 photos that allow the correct execution of all the techniques covered to be followed without a problem. This also provides the student and trainer alike with a good reference book that can be used at any time.
